The development of a medical product, from the concept to its approval prior to its commercialization, is very expensive, which is why investing in a package (let’s call it a Pharmaceutical Bottle, whether it be a Pill Box, Dropper or Syrup Bottle) is very important because it must be made to fulfill its main function: protect its content.
It can be an easy mistake that is made when designing Pharmaceutical Bottles: Pill Boxes, Droppers or Syrup Bottles: over designing them, this negatively impacts the final result, that is, the cost to the user. Even if the cost of the Pharmaceutical Bottle falls within the range that was planned from the beginning, you can still have actions that save money.
In this blog we will see some considerations that can be taken into account to save money and design costs do not impact the price for the end user.
The first thing you should do is identify the efficiency of the design of the Pharmaceutical Bottle, call it Pillbox, Dropper or Syrup. An objective evaluation of the design by an expert packaging supplier can help detect areas of improvement immediately: from simplifying functions; determine if the Pharmaceutical Bottle will continue with its characteristics after a sterilization process; or, even, if the material with which it will be manufactured is adequate or there may be other options without affecting performance. The fact that a company with expert staff in the design and manufacture of Pharmaceutical Bottles: Pill Bottles, Droppers or Syrup Bottles can support the development of a product, it will help to find areas of opportunity or improvements that could mean savings both in the short and long term.
Another aspect that must be taken into account is the wall thickness of the Pharmaceutical Bottle. The reduction of the thickness of the bottle walls reduces the weight and, consequently, the cost, without jeopardizing the integrity of the Pharmaceutical Bottle: Pill Box, Dropper or Syrup Bottle. The manufacturer of the Pharmaceutical Bottle, being an expert, can save additional costs by reviewing the issue of calibers, as this helps reduce the waste stream of a manufacturer and promotes a circular economy.
Finding alternative resins requires a full understanding of the Pharmaceutical Bottle and its content, taking advantage of the experience and technique that a specialized supplier offers is of vital importance for precision and cost savings, as well as primary packaging (bag and box).
Staying ahead while managing Pharmaceutical Bottle costs can be tricky, which is why it's important to leverage the skills of an experienced supplier in design and manufacturing. Cost savings in manufacturing Pharmaceutical Bottles: Pill Bottles, Droppers or Syrup Bottles are more easily achieved when you align with a strategic collaborative packaging partner.
